​It is our pleasure to notify you that Carol Boehm of NJ’s Lambda/NJ chapter has received a Cornetet Individual Professional Development Award in the amount of $900.00. She plans to use her award to attend the 3rd Biennial FAME (Feierabend Association for Music Educators)
Conference. We are pleased that a member from your state has received assistance to enhance her professional expertise.

Please help us encourage all educators, members and non-members, who need professional development assistance to check the Foundation website for the Cornetet Individual Professional Development Award information and application. Encourage them to apply as did Carol. We
have included her contact information below hoping you will want to congratulate her personally and possibly recognize her at state convention.

The Fulbright Program is funded through an annual appropriation by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Yeah!  We did it!
The 28th is completed for the student orientation. We will be sending it to Google Drive by Wednesday for a preview/test run. It runs 27 minutes and has many updated scenes.
Special thanks to our core student filmers/editors, Mr. Competello,  and  our secretaries.
We’ll  finish the parent summer version omitting the principal, vice principal ,office, and guidance scenes next week.
We could not have completed this without the additional iMacs in the Media Center and to the George Link, Jr. Trust and Alpha Zeta State Grant.
They made it possible to film and edit the scenes so that they could be transferred to the master edit.
Smiles all around!
Many thanks,
Ms. Contala and Tech Club Students
